One of the major industries of Bangladesh is the ‘Shipbreaking’, or vessels scrapping. The owners of the shipyards use the low tide to sunk the ships at the shore, and after that an army of barefoot men starts the process of dismantling; sometimes it takes three to four months to finish it. This industry is a major problem concerning two different issues: one environmental (the metamorphosis of the landscape and the alteration of the endemic ecological balance), and another social (the inhumane labor conditions of hundreds of men).
I took this photo during the winter of 2005
In the Shipbreaking, the metamorphosis of the landscape photo essay.
